Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1004 - 1005: The Lonely Village Girl 49

Everyone knew what happened at midnight, and Zhang Yu, knowingly, asked, "Did you go to the hospital last night?"

"Yeah, yesterday a small leader from the GWH got his hand chopped off on the way home."

"Chopped off a hand?" Everyone gasped.

Zhang Yu was certainly surprised, but chopping off a hand wasn’t anything unusual for everyone present.

Back when the conflicts were severe, such incidents happened daily, and there wasn’t even enough time to investigate, the situation was chaotic.

Now that fewer fights occur, these things happen less frequently, and this sudden incident involving a GWH leader was indeed surprising.

"It was that Wang Zitao," a colleague whispered.

Upon hearing this name, everyone wore expressions of disdain, "It’s no wonder such a person got into trouble."

"How are they supposed to investigate this, he has too many enemies." Wang Zitao might seem small-time, but he’s vicious.

"He left Widow Wang’s house yesterday, and that’s when the incident happened," a colleague who was on duty said.

Widow Wang? Everyone was even more surprised, "Isn’t that, isn’t that...?"

Even mentioning Widow Wang’s name, many knew who she was, for there were several Widow Wangs in Capital City, but only one was so famous.

"Better to die under a peony flower than live as a ghost," Zhang Yu lamented.

"How do we investigate this, who could be the culprit..." Everyone thought this was probably how it happened.

As for whether there could be another possibility, of course, there could be, but nobody wanted to pursue it.

Someone like him, who has harmed so many, now he got into trouble, which was actually a good thing.

"Oh right, about your family’s compound yesterday..." A colleague quickly changed the subject.

After all, it was involving a GWH leader, one couldn’t be sure someone might come by today, so they shouldn’t overhear this.

Zhang Yu had originally planned to talk to them; now that someone brought it up, she couldn’t miss the chance, so she briefly mentioned what happened last night.

She deliberately avoided mentioning Liu Gang taking food from the cafeteria.

Just for that? Everyone was shocked, "It might be a bit excessive for a junior to speak that way to an uncle, but that’s too cruel."

"Exactly, just for a few words, turning a nephew into this."

"Yes, and they didn’t even want to pay for the medicine." Everyone knew about Zhang Yu’s relationship with the Liu Family.

"Zhang Yu, good thing you didn’t get involved, you wouldn’t believe it, I’ve heard Liu Qiang cursing, saying you were meddling and refusing to pay."

A colleague recognized Liu Qiang, which is why he asked a nurse about it, not knowing until then.

"Right, which is why this morning, I just felt disgusted thinking about it."

She said she wasn’t happy because Liu Ke’s life was saved by the timely hospital visit, but then she wanted to blame it all on me."

Zhang Yu sighed lightly, "Honestly, around my place, doing good deeds only brings bad luck to yourself."

Colleagues shook their heads, "They really are something, you shouldn’t tolerate them."

"Why would I indulge them, I straight up told them not to look for me in the future when problems arise; I won’t handle them. Thankfully, he was saved this time, or it would be my fault again, my responsibility."

"Why must I pay up? Why am I forced to accompany them to the hospital?"

"All they do is bad-mouth Liu Qiang." Zhang Yu knew that, to Liu Gang and his wife, they needed to smear Liu Qiang as much as possible.

"I can’t escape, either." Zhang Yu understood Liu Gang and his wife didn’t like her because the house wasn’t handed over. frёeωebɳovel.com

"By the way, how is his condition?" Zhang Yu just realized this; Feng Lan had talked at length about the rupture of the spleen and surgery, but she knew nothing else.

Colleagues were surprised, "You don’t know?"

Zhang Yu replied, "I didn’t hear her say anything, she only mentioned how bad the child’s uncle was bullying the kid."

"She said, to stop them from claiming the house, he actually attacked a child, accusing him of being malicious, because his own son wasn’t successful, he schemed against his brother’s kid."

Zhang Yu didn’t know what to say about Feng Lan’s mindset, "I think she just wants Liu Qiang to compensate more money."

Everyone was shocked, "Is that her own son?"

"Really never saw parents like this."

"To them, money is more important than many things," Zhang Yu reiterated.

"In a big forest, there really are all kinds of people."

Everyone agreed, "Yeah, but it’s fine, that last thing blew up so much, it’s normal you won’t handle them."

No one mentioned why such a serious injury wasn’t reported to the police, they didn’t want to meddle further, especially as all parties involved were family, and this is the hardest part, situations can change rapidly.

Zhang Yu recounted everything before work, feeling lighter as she left.

As for the injured small-time leader, Zhang Yu didn’t have the time to inquire, someone destined for trouble isn’t worth watching.

The workday breezed by, and at quitting time, she packed up to head home.

In a few days, it’d be time for payday, the happiest time for a worker.

Zhang Yu walked home contentedly, Liu Li, with a sullen face, saw Zhang Yu ahead and felt displeased.

Clearly, she should be toiling away in the countryside, yet she was in the city, even found a job.

Following Zhang Yu, Liu Li felt unsatisfied, Zhang Yu felt someone watching her, suddenly turned her head, finding it was Liu Li.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s abrupt movement, Liu Li had no time to react, "Zhang Yu, why did you suddenly turn around?"

"Is it not allowed?" Zhang Yu sneered, "What, are you planning an attack?"

"I wasn’t." Liu Li had thought of it but knew if she acted, she couldn’t avoid the consequences.

More importantly, she worried Zhang Yu might not suffer if she tried something.

"If not, why look at me with such a gloomy face?" Zhang Yu noticed her tired appearance, "You, are you taking care of Liu Ke at the hospital?"

Since Liu Qiang was responsible, it seemed normal for his daughter to tend to Liu Ke.

Zhang Yu’s bringing it up worsened Liu Li’s complexion.

"What, are you mocking me?" Liu Li eyed Zhang Yu in her police uniform, feeling even more irritated.

Mocking her? Zhang Yu shook her head, "I wouldn’t mock you over this."

"Your current life, isn’t it just being a housewife?"

"By the way, are you still studying?" Zhang Yu was allowed by the school to attend only for exams.

Her situation was unique, but Liu Li didn’t have that, Zhang Yu was truly curious, she believed Liu Qiang would’ve had Liu Li drop out.
